NCMIC Calls Leadership Conference

The National Chiropractic Mutual Insurance Company (NCMIC) has invited representatives from each of the major chiropractic organizations to meet regarding the top five issues facing the chiropractic profession today. The conference is similar to one held over a decade ago by the nursing profession to consider its future.1

The conference will be held in Chicago, September 20-21, 1996. Two representatives from each of the following groups have been invited to represent the points of view of their respective organizations:

  • American Chiropractic Association
  • Association of Chiropractic Colleges
  • Congress of Chiropractic State Associations * Consortium for Chiropractic Research (recently renamed the American Spinal Research Foundation) * Council on Chiropractic Education * Federation of Chiropractic Licensing Boards * Foundation for Chiropractic Education and Research * Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Tenets and Science
  • International Chiropractors Association * National Board of Chiropractic Examiners (as an Observer) * World Federation of Chiropractic
The Leadership Conference needs your direction. Please take a moment to jot down what you believe are the five most important problems or issues facing your profession. Feel free to include any pertinent documentation.

Please mail your input to:

Contract for the Profession
P.O. Box 9118
Des Moines, IA 50309-9118

Your response should be received by September 6, 1996 to allow time to collate the material and distribute it to the participants of the Leadership Conference prior to the meeting. Be watching the November 4, 1996 issue of Dynamic Chiropractic for a report on this important event.

Would You Rather Be a Chiropractic Therapist?

Because they have yet to pass national legislation protecting the chiropractic profession, Japanese DCs are in a similar situation that U.S. DCs faced. We were fortunate enough to be able to pass chiropractic licensure state by state. The DCs in Japan must accomplish this nationally, which has proved to be an extremely difficult task. And in spite of their efforts, Japanese DCs are currently faced with two chiropractic professions.

This article focuses on nine severe injuries that are generally not diagnosable until the third to fourth week following the date of injury, including how to diagnose these severe injuries. The discovery of any of these injuries early can make a significant difference in the case outcome.

Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver
Whiplash-Associated Disorder: Use of O’Donoghue’s Maneuver

Recently, I taught a 12-hour whiplash class to a group of chiropractors for continuing education. I taught that performing O’Donoghue’s maneuver enabled the providers to differentiate cervical strain from sprain. To my surprise, one of the attendees stated that it is not possible to diagnose a cervical strain and sprain with a whiplashed patient using O’Donoghue’s maneuver.
